would you or would you not do it again?

That is so funny I called this my baby for the longest time. It took six years to get it with insurance paying. I always felt like I had a miscarriage everytime they denied me payment. Then I got my baby on Oct. 23 2006--YEAH!!! It just helped show me that I am a fighter! But close to 60lb weight loss I will love this baby forever!

I have had my band for 5 weeks now and I have lost 22.6 pounds. My life has so changed since the band, so I would say yes, I would absolutely without a doubt do it again.

I would totally be banded again in a heart beat. The only thing I wish was different was my doctor's fills. He is super conservative and it took me like 5 or 6 fills to finally feel restriction,

I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I hope nothing ever happens to my band!

That is a good question. I would say 90% of the time yes. But sometimes I just would like to take a bite of meat and not suffer. I would love to eat a hamburger with the bun or just some steak. I would love to go out to eat and eat more then 3 bites of food in 1/2 hr.

But then I think of having to give myself insulin or being able to bend over without feeling like I am going to pass out and I say "Hell Ya I would do it again tomorrow".:clap2:

Not just yes, but HELL YES! And I am only three weeks out...I have hit a mark on the scales that I have not seen for 12 years. This means EVERYTHING to me. I think I am doing GREAT. Haven't even had my first fill yet (!!!!!), but I'm able to stick to my soft foods easily. Also having no problem not drinking with food....after the first 5 minutes it is NO BIGGIE. When I DO overeat, I make sure and overeat something like steamed broccoli with homemade dill sauce....stuff like that that doesn't add calories but will fill me up just to appease the BEAST. I just wish I had had this option available to me 20 years ago..... I think my biggest initial problem was Portion Control, as opposed to sweets, starches, pastas, fast foods....and this tool has been a Godsend.

No, I would not do this again While it works, and I'm not denying that, I hate puking all the time. I mean, all the time. I chew 30-40 times before swallowing, I don't dring with meals, I have yet to eat a cup of food at any one time. I vomit all the time.

If I could do this over again, I would not.
